My iPhone 5 speaker is going out intermittently.

My speaker seems to be going out intermittently. For example, this morning my phone was connected to my alarm clock and it odd not play music when my alarm went off. It was silent. After disconnecting it, I received a call but there was no ring or vibrate. I thought the phone must have been muted but it was not. This is not the first time this has happened. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

IPhone 4 keeps going out of DFU mode when trying to reset

So I was helping my dad with his iPhone 4. It just stopped working from time to time.
When I tried turning it back on at those times, it just stops at the recovery mode screen. I then tried having it plugged in while I had iTunes up, but that didn't help. Error 21, iTunes said.
So I tried putting the phone in DFU mode and then resetting it to factory settings. But during the reset - when it tried to contact the Apple servers - the phone went straight from DFU mode to Recovery mode which gave me the error 21 again.
I've tried all of the tips in the help section (making sure that the computer was up-to-date, I made sure the security program was turned off etc, I deleted the ipw and had iTunes download it for me again), but that didn't help either. I even tried to start iTunes as an administrator, but that didn't help either. The account on the computer is also an administrator.
So what should I do now?

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

I think my iPad 2 speaker is going out.

Today i was playing a game on my iPad 2 with pandora running in the backround when for about 5 sec it just started to act up it sounded like it went full blast and was just like hearing tv static. Since then every thing on here is not as loud and sounds like there is static mixed in with what ever is playing. I have had my iPad 2 for under a year and was wondering if i should send it for to get it looked. Also I was going to call then later today to see what they think on top of that some how i have dust or something under my screen and i dont know how would they take care of that too?

Try this for the sound and see if it makes any difference.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If the sound is still static riddled, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. Show them the dust under the screen. Only they can make the determination if the the device needs to be replaced. Don't wait until the warranty is up!

Sound goes out on my iPhone

SOund goes out on my iPhone 6, and it effects the Alarm as well. Playing Solitary...there's no sound
until I re-boot my phone. Why?

Hi there Wade,
From what I gather, your iPhone 6 has an intermittent sound issue which you’re able to temporarily resolve by restarting your iPhone. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most sound issues like the one that you've described.
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
So long,

When iPhone is on Cellular data and WiFi, i cannot make calls and phone goes out of service.

So I have this iPhone 5S unlocked version from the US which I am using in India. When I am connected to my office wireless and also the cellular & 3G data are switched on, my phone goes out of service and I cannot make calls. I can also use internet.
However this works great when I get onto my home WiFi along with cellular & 3G data switched on, I can make calls and also surf the net with the WiFi.
Is anyone having similar issue? I am sure there is something with the office WiFi but what could it be to get my phone out of service.
Any thoughts anybody ?
Thanks,
UG

Yes I shutdown WiFi and I can connect to 3G on Cellular. I can make calls.
If I shutdown Cellular and connect WiFi. I can make calls.
Its just that when both are ON, then no calls can be made.
All combinations work good with Home WiFi.

What is available in the Name field with the email account settings?

Dropped my iphone in water, it goes on, but shows the apple logo with text and goes out again, what to do?

So, I dropped my iphone into a river and picked it up very quickly, turned it out and put it in rice, after some hours I saw it was on with a blueish screen so I turned it off again and put it back in the rice, then after 6 hours in total from when it fell in the water I charge it and see the start up apple logo but then small text appears in the upper corner and it goes out again, this happened now twice, what is this and what to do?

Try the method of putting it in a bowl of rice. If the issue remains then you would need a replacement.
If you have AppleCare+ then you could get it replaced with one of your 2 incidents.
If you do not have ApplCare+ you would get a replacement as an Out of Warranty Service due to accidental damage. Now based on your country/region you could either get a replacement through postage or at an Apple Retail Store. Follow the link below for a pricing:
http://www.apple.com/support/service/
- select iphone
- select your country
- select warranty and service pricing
Choose the last option and it will give you a price based on your country and iPhone. Remember the cost shown includes a postage fee so look below the prices and how much the postage fee is as this would not be included in the cost if the replacement was done at a store.
Hope this helps

All of a sudden my iPhone 4 stopped giving out sound... I can change d ringtone n speaker works fine but no sound for incoming calls... No click sound... No keyboard sound...

my iPhone 4 stopped giving out sound..

On the left side of the phone above the volume + and - buttons there should be a toggle switch (silence switch) if you see orange/red that means your iPhone is in vibrate mode and will be quiet.
Switch the toggle so it shows no orange/red and that should correct the issue.
If you still get no sound after that you may want to check your bluetooth to make sure its not connected to another device (sound is being sent there) ...
If that doesn't work, stick some headphones into the headphone jack and see if you can hear the sounds from the headphones... the device may also think there is headphones plug'd in which can also be the issue
If the issue persists past that explore the option of restoring the device from the last time it did make sound and if that doesn't work you may need to contact Apple for other options
Hope this helps!
GL!

What move to make for iphone speaker volume

I have been reading all kinds of goods and bads about the iphones speaker volume over the last week. Yes ipod sounds good to me (Not to where I would ever wanna listen to it in speaker mode.) And NO, my speaker phone does not sound good. Way too low. Im starting to wonder if the people in the forums are saying theirs sounds fine because they have only tested it where there is silence. I'm not looking to be able to hear any speaker phone in the middle of a crowded bar, but I can not even hear it when it is all the way up and sitting beside me in the car, with the windows up. I find myself grabbing it and putting it right near my ear. So....... has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update? I am surprised that with the release of the phone and all the questions being posted there is no portal for apple employees or techs to address some of these questions like a faqs page targeting some of the consistent questions over the last week. And don't get me wrong I love my iphone and i am not amongst the crew of people in these forums bashing it. Never owned a blackberry or treo or any of that stuff. I said years ago i will purchase something like that when apple puts one out. Never owned a pc in my life and I embrace this phone.

has anyone determined if this is a software issue or a hardware issue?
I assume since the iPod is capable of putting a fair bit of volume through the earpiece that it's a software problem. Have you turned-off volume limits in Settings?
Should I be bringing my iphone back or wait out the software update?
Tough call, if you're trying to decide by the 14 day window. Call Apple under warranty service, tell them if they can't guarantee a volume fix you're going to have to return the phone?
You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

Audio goes out on my Air after I unplug my headphones.

Audio goes out on my Air after I unplug my headphones. Reset did not fix it.

Hi johnfan1939,
Although this article specifically mentions the iPhone, many of the steps apply for the iPad as well.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:Restart the iPhone.Restart the iPhone.
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,
Nubz

My phone spazzes and randomly does stuff on its own like typing a bunch of random letters, or scrolling up/down a page, or going out of an app. What can be done about that?

I have a 5S and I've had it since december. ever since i got it I've had trouble whit it. It spaces out at random times, types stuff on its own, goes out of applications, scrolls up/down a page etc. This happens almost daily and the only thing I can do about it is lock my phone, go back in, quit all my apps... Along with that now my touch ID has not been working. Although it has started today, I am worried.

I have an iPhone 6 and have been having this issue since I got it in December 2014. Apps open on their own, scrolling up and down, etc. It's like a ghost is touching the screen. It seems to be the worst when my Verizon connection is only at 3G or my wifi strength is low. I'm not sure if it's an iPhone thing or a carrier issue?? Any ideas?

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I fix this?

Regarding text messaging, if I send a message from my iPhone, the reply goes to my ipad, or mini ipad. How can I stop this from happening?

Go to Settings/ Messaging/ Send & Receive on each device to set the contact points to be reached at, and to set the "from" address when you start a new message. It sounds like your iPhone might be sending messages out as one thing (e.g. an iCloud address) but set to not receive replies only to your phone number. Make sure you review settings on each device since you may, or may not, want to have them common.

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
Regards.
